THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.
There is no doubt of the popularity Of the
Bennett & Moulton troupe in Portland. They
have had crowded audiences every evening
of their engagement but it remained for the
Bohemian Girp' to pack Portland Theatre
as it has rarely been packed before. Every
seat was occupied and people clung, as it
were by the eyelids, wherever they could
get chance. The old familiar airs were
warmly received by their hearers; the chorus
"Come with the Gypsy Bride" the solos
''The Heart Bowed Down. 81 Dreamt that
Dwelt,'' when the Fair Land Of Poland"
were very fairly rendered. Miss Murphy
was a pleasing airline. Miss Marcellus a
pretty Buda, Miss Sanger commanding
Queen, Mr. Harding an effective Thaddeus
Mr.. Montgomery satisfactory Count, MIR.
Ben Lodge funny FlOreStein and Mr.. Clay
ton strong Devilsh0Ot.
This afternoon "FataAitza" will be given
at the matinee. and "Oltvette VIII close the
engagement in the evening.
SIBERIA.
The play of ''Siberia" has had very re-
markable career. 1t was produced four
years ago, and the very integrity of its per-
formances has retained for it popularity
that is unique. Miss Adele Belgrade, who
spent her vacation in Europe last summer,
told reporter the other day that she saw
nothing abroad superior in dramatic interest
to siberia" and that she returns to her
original role of the heroine in that play with
renewed interest. The sale of seats will be-
gin at the box office this morning.

A Great Help to the Speaker.

"Harry" Smith came in with the
XLlst Congress, and holds the position
of "Journal Clerk" | have no doubt
that he can retain it as long as he chooses.
He has made place of his own, and it is
no idle statement to say that there is not
a man in the country to-day who could
fill it, should he retire. The ebb of the
Republican and the flow of the Demo
cralic majorities sweep other officials out
into the cold, cold world. Mr.. Smith
alone remains an unconcerned observer
Of the fights of factions and the bitter
controversies of parties. have never
been able to ascertain whether he is q
Republican or Democrat.
Mr.. Smith is retained in his position, to
prompt the Speaker on ali questions of
parliamentary law and practice. In the
midst of squabble, while both sides are
doing Their best TO carry point, the
Speaker may lose his head, and in the
scores Of precedents thrown Mt him may,
for the moment, be thoroughly ratified. -
1t is then that Mr.. smith proves him. a
master of the situation. Selling his
manual he rapidly turns to the exact place
which will solve the question beyond the
Speaker almost always succeeds with the
array of rules and practice, furnished by
Mr.. Smith in tumbling over ordemolish-
ing all the pretty structures of mingled
fancy and logic which the members have
been building about them. Speaker Car
Isle relies upon Mr.. Smiths Judgment and
knowledge almost implicitly, as did his
predecessor; and it is probable that por-
tion of the long line of Speakers to come
will do the same thing, whether they be
Republicans or Democrats Mr.. Smith is
a native of New York, believe, but his
present home is in Michigan. He served
with distinction during the war in one of
the Michigan regiments, but nobody ad
dresses him as Colonel" He is simple

The Signs OF Drunkenness.

The symptoms of drunkenness, be it
observed, are all paralytic, and are all
due to loss of nervous power and of
voluntary control. The flushing of the
face shows the paralysis of the small
blood vessels; soon the slipshod utter
ance shows the want of voluntary con-
troll over some of the muscles of articula-
tion; the dou lie vision indicates the loss
of accommodating power in the eyes,
and the staggering gait shows that the
loss of control has extended to the larger
muscles; lastly, the drunkard falls
PROSTATE in a condition so closely re-
sembling apoplexy that the most ex-
perienced occasionally iail rightly to

the incorporate use Of alcohol be per-
sisted in there soon results a degenera-
ton of all the tissues of the body. The
nervous tissues are, perhaps, the first to
suffer, and the shaking hand and totter-
ing gait are infalhbly followed by a
similar lettering of the intellectual and
moral faculties. The stomach resents
the constant introduction into it of
ardent spirits, and soon refuses properly
TO digest food. The liver and kidneys
give out in similar way, and the
impairment of their functions causes
terrible dropsy. The heart gets fatty
and weak, the lungs lose their fresh
elasticity and soon there is not a tissue
in the body which has not, in one way or
another, succumbed to the i'll treatment
to which it has been subjected. The
Family Physician.

Some Valuable Woods.

The tulip tree is native of America,
and is found from Canada to Florida. 1t
is especially abundant in the Western
States. The wood is greatly valued for
the ease with which it can be worked.
Satin wood is the name applied to several
woods of commerce which acquire a
peculiar lusture when polished; the prin-
cipal of these are brought from India and
the Bahamas and West Indies. The
Indian satin wood is from a tree of the
meliaceg family, which grows to height
of 90 or 60 feet, and is found along the
COromauiel coast and other parts of In
dia; the wood is hard and yellow The
Bahaman wood comes from tree of an
other species; it is lighter colored than
the India wood. Rosewood is name
applied in commerce to several costly
kinds of ornamental wood, which come
from different countries and from very
different trees The best-known rose
woods are from Brazil and other parts of
South America. Africa and Burmese
rosewoods are thought to come from a
different species OF the same family as
South American trees. Other kinds are
brought from different places and are OBJ
tanned from very different trees. One
hluu Is louuu ON the enaly lslhnuS only,
another on the island of Jamaica, and
Others at different places. Sandal wood
is the name of the aromatic wood of sew
eral species of santalum, mainly found in
the East Indies, and on the mainland of
India, though certain kinds are also OBJ
tanned in the forests of the Hawaiian
Islands, the Feejee Islands, and in Aus
tralia. Black ebony wood is foInd,
principally in Ceylon, Madagascar, and
Mauritius, where it grows spontaneously,
and is cultivated to a certain extent in
other localities of the East. The wood
of all species of the holly tree is remark
ably white when the tree is young, but
assumes a darker color with age. The
Eu opcan holly is found especially in
Italy, Greece, and the Danubian prov
iuccs. 1t grows abundantly throughout
Southern Europe, and is also cultivated
in Great Britain The American holly is
found along the Atlantic coast, from
Maine southwark, and is especially
abundant in Virginia and the Carolinas.

Bullets That Hit and Miss.

The question has often been raised
what proportion of balls, exchanged 10y
hostile armies, will hit their mark and
kill. Difficult as it is to solve it exactly,
some approximation may be arrived at
from the number of balls estimated at
20, 600, O0O-which were fired by the
Germans in the war of 1901. The
French army lost in the dead and woun-
ded, about 40, 900 men, According to
this, only one ball out of lab fired hit its
man, and assuming that on an average
one man ont Of seven hit was actually
killed, it would seem that only one rifle
ball in S5S proved fatal. If it is further
considered that the number of men
wounded and killed by the guns or the
artillery are included in the above esti-
mate, it may safely be said that not over
one rifle ball in thousand fred proved
to be fatal.-BOstOa Beacon.
